FIELD AND FARM,
Making Good Mixers.

Letter in Practical Farmer: No matter
what breed you have, something further
is necessary in order to reach the best
success in raising good mixers. Good
blood, whether Shorthorn, Jersey, Devon,
Ayrshire, grade or native, is not every.
thing, but lies at the foundation. Some
thing cannot come from nothing. Treat
ment in raising mixer should be some
what different from that in raising n beef
animal or an animal for labor. Begin rs
soon as the calf is day old; see that it
has sufficient to eat and is kindly treated
and regularly attended to. Never pampcr
or overfoed, but give it good, generous
food, to cause regular, early and steady
growth. Accustom it TO be handled, but
not to such IN extent as to acquire obiec-
tionablc habits as COW, but rather to be
fond of the presence of the keeper.
Kindness helps to create a quiet DISPOSE
ton so important in a dairy COW. and
this education must begin when the cali
is young Any habits acquired when
young are apt to cling to the COW when
grown.
For milker would have the heifer
come in at two years old. She is then
old enough TO become COW. l would

calving, even if | did not obtain but Il lit.
tie at a milking. A COW thus trained will
give more milk and be more likely to
hold out long IN milk if her after care is
judicious and liberal as it should be, Such
treatment tends to form the habit of Civ
ing milk, and, as we know, habit is a sort
of second nature. Couple the hcifer with
an older bull-one two or three years
older than she is is preferable to Il year
ling-and better stock is likely to come
from such. After the heifer has come IN,
her feed should be regular and liberal
Good clover hay is the best of all, but we
all may not have this for stall feed, then
we must make up for what is lacking in
some concentrated food, such as oat-
meal, shorts, oiimcal or the like, but
great care and good judgment must be
used not to ovcrfeed or crowd, as the
future COW may be ruined. Undue for
cling shortens the useful life of the COW
very rapidly.

In giving water that has been warmed
to cows they will drink too much if
meal or shorts be added TO it, and the
quantity should, therefore, be regulated.
To train flock of sheep take lamb to

Exposure OF Sheep.

When sheep are stripped of their warm
natural covering little thought is be
slowed upon their suffering during the
cold nights and days that have followed
the shearing. None probably ever will
be bestowed. But the consequence to
the owner will not thereby be escaped.
The suffering and loss of vitality oc-
casioned by twenty-four hours of weather
calling for an overcoat to make him COM
Portable will not only consume the fat of
the sheep but check the growth OF wool
and deterioratc its quality. A week S feed
in warm weather will not make up for
the loss.
Every such shock to the system of the
sheep makes n weak spot in the wool.
SO soon after shearlng this weak spot
may be so close to the end rs to cause but
a minimum of damage, but later on, and
in the fall, such weak spots arc a serious
drawback and greatly reduce the value
of the wool for manufacturing purposes.
Not only humanity but true economy
calls for better treatment. More and
better wool will be the result. We have
seen lleeces with two or three poor
streaks which divided the fibre up into
The manufacturer is quick to take this
defect into account when he purchases.
Sheep should be provided with com
Portable shelter at all times OF the year.
Less sickness and loss would occur if
they were regularly folded every night.
1t would not only be to their comfort and
health, but would bring them regularly

anything that is wrong. Sheep hab!tu-
ated to being yarded in the fold every
night would give comparatively little
trouble. They would like It, and as they
are creatures of habit would soon learn
to put in an appearance every night.
Here. too, should be provided troughs
for salt and racks for little dry feed.

Gould we know that friends we cherish
Deep within our inmost heart,
Would abide with us today,
Would tomorrow from US part.
Would we ever wound or pain them
With a light and careless word;
Did we know that fate would part US
Till Gods call-the last-was heardl
Could we know in this worlds tumult
What is true, in all the mass,
Could we eer learn to distinguish
Pure gold from the glittering brass
Could we know, none would be guilty,
Choosing brass and spurning gold;
But, in ignorance, how many
Choose the first, remains untold.

Heart was breaking even yet,
For false and faithess lovers
Broken vow he should have kept,
Would we always prove as trusting!

Though on earth there's naught but doub
